Why This Data Matters
Google validates entity information through patterns of corroborating mentions across trusted domains. This list shows where Google recognizes all entity types - but here's the catch: entity authority is extremely niche-specific.
Entity Validation at Scale
Google's Knowledge Graph requires consistent entity recognition across validated domains.
- Only 3.58% of domains (62,202 out of 1,738,093) qualify as isReference
- Brands typically need ~30 entity-validated url for a stable Knowledge Panel
- Each niche has unique entity authority patterns
- Generic "authority lists" miss 95%+ of niche-specific opportunities
